So sorry for your loss! Almost all of my childhood memories feature Bob! The best was hunting the "Sinking Creak Monster" in Everton. When someone stepped on a stick and the van door slid shut, pretty sure Bob was leaving all of us. Makes me smile to this day! Many weekends spent watching SNL while the adults played cards. He was a great man and I am lucky to have had the privilege of growing up around Bob and Margie.

Bob and Margie were long time cherished friends and neighbors of our parents Pat and Paul Fairleigh. We are so sorry for Margie and the family on the loss of Bob. No one ever worked harder or gave more to the people he cared about, than Bob. Margie, Bob and Zoey were always so good to us, thank you. We are grieving with you and we love you.

Bob was a wonderful man that once you had the honor to be in his circle. You became family. He devoted his life in taking care of his wife Margie and 2 children. They also went on to raise 2 granddaughters, 1 great granddaughter and 1 great grandson Bob enjoyed teaching those who would listen to him. I met Bob through his nephew John Barton. Bob you touched my heart with how you treated others and was always willing to help out. You will be missed by man. Love and miss you.
